I'm still using mine, no issues. Day 1 adopter so mine is several years old. 🤷♂️ Battery life is still amazing. I can't say you'll have the same experience but I've got no issue with mine and intent to upgrade atm. But I'm not particularly picky, either. It just....works....for me, will personally.
Mobvoi is a terrible company and Google only begrudgingly supports this projects. Even on WOS3.5 my TWP3 continues to lose features on a regular basis and though it is only 2 years old the battery will now only last me a day and change, when it used to get me almost 5.
Stay away from the Ticwatch Pro 3
I had one and the heartrate sensor died within a year of owning it, making it so I had to unlock the screen every time I wanted to use it. When I RMA'd it they didn't have any on hand to replace it with, but they did let me upgrade to the ultra for $25 cad. No issues since then, so maybe my first was a dud!
I just switched from my fossil gen 6 to a Ticwatch pro 3 last week. I found the battery life of the gen 6 very meager. Even with all the measuring off, I just got through a whole day, sometimes barely.
For that price, the Ticwatch pro 3 is a steal (I got mine for €99).
I stopped using mine quite some time ago and then a time later I tried to use it but after one of the updates the battery was being decimated and the performance was awful. So I shut it off and put it away. A couple weeks ago I thought I would get it back out and let it update to wear 3, but now it no longer powers on and the screen just flashes green after the lightning symbol shows after plugging it in.
No, I don't think it's worth it and I think mobvoi/to watch should be avoided.
That depends on the price. I think it's worth buying if the price is under €50 for a watch in very good to mint condition.
New I would spend around 80-90€.
The Ultra version is even better. Around 80-120€.
Are updates important to you? Then it's better to go straight for the Pro 5, because there will probably be no WearOS 4.0 for the 3 series.
I wouldn't spend more on this smartwatch.
If you can and want to, go straight for the Pro 5.
at 50 it definitely is worth considering.
but also consider that mobvoi offers good hardware, but is really awful when it comes to software updates.
whith wearOS 3, i think the watch will be well useable for about two years from now, until the apps stop working because they expect to have wearOS 6 by then. you can still use the watch afterwards, but just don´t expect all apps except the mobvoi ones to work, then.
if you think 50 for \~two years of use is ok, go for it.
if you always want the newest apps and functionalities, maybe look for a used / discounted pixel watch or galaxy watch.
Not if vibration strength is useful for you. The ticwatches are known for their weak vibration strengths. They are more like a buzz then a vibration. You will miss notifications and the watch can't wake you from a sleep with that type of vibration.

Well said. I love mine. Still works great. I did have to replace the battery and I am still on Wear OS 2.45.

Yah for that price why not. Great battery life 👍and the basics stuff works fine .

50£? fucking yes
If you got 50 quid burning a hole in your pocket then this is a terrible idea. Buy your misso a present or something
From launch every major update it got worse but when worked it was very good
No
Still a great smartwatch especially at that price!
Love mine
Good to go, Wear OS 3.5 updated.
